Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF) is a power system operating procedures that have an important role in terms of realizing the economic electric production. This research focuses on the application of hybrid PSO-ANN algorithm in STLF. Load data grouped by the type of weekdays and holidays. Consumption of electricity load in West Java Indonesia, used as input to the learning algorithm PSO-ANN. ...

Having in view the statistical data calculated for 10 years, the total consumption of rolling mill rolls represents 0 785...0 8 kg/tone of rolled steel. Nationwide, the 5 million tones steel being rolled every year represents a consumption of 4000 tones rolls, worth 6 million euro/year, which imposes large research with an important economic and scientific impact [1-6] It is noticeable that app...

Problem statement: Load forecasting plays an important task in power system planning, operation and control. It has received an increasing attention over the years by academic researchers and practitioners. Control, security assessment, optimum planning of power production required a precise short term load forecasting. Approach: This study tries to combine neural network and fuzzy logic for ne...

The behavior of the slag layer between the oscillating mold wall, the slag rim, the slag/liquid steel interface, and the solidifying steel shell, is of immense importance for the surface quality of continuous-cast steel. A computational model of the meniscus region has been developed, that includes transient heat transfer, multi-phase fluid flow, solidification of the slag, and movement of the ...

The course, technical progresses, and achievements of energy conservation of China steel industry (CSI) during 1980-2010 were summarized. Then, the paper adopted e-p method to analyze the variation law and influencing factors of energy consumptions of large- and medium-scale steel plants within different stages. It is pointed out that energy consumption per ton of crude steel has been almost on...

introduction thermal processing has a huge impact on the textural attribute of the final food product and texture is a major factor contributing the overall quality of food. ohmic heating is an advanced thermal processing method in which heat is internally generated within foods by passing an alternating electric current through them. ohmic heating can volumetrically heat the entire mass of a f...

alloy steel, which is versatile in such qualities as grade, property and application, can play an important role in the technical and economic development of the country. the present consumption of the key industrial sector to this strategic material, specified basically as semi- finished products exceeds 100,000 tons per year. however, a rough estimation of the true potential needs, does clear...
